Well ain't that a bitch

"I found those two that were working with them," Ahi said in a humdrum tone, pushing them toward the light, "and boy do I have bad news for you."

Mirth groaned, lowering the gun and slumping into a chair, his hand went up to cradle his pale face, "What now? Is the sky falling?"

Ahi's eyebrows quirked at the sarcasm, "no, you've been hounding the wrong guy," he said wryly, "DuPont has had you chasing these witless wonders about town while he's been right under our noses this whole time," he turned to the three sitting tied up, "no offence."

"None taken," Megamind grimaced and muttered under his breath, "jerk."

Mirth shot up from his chair so fast Megamind swore he didn't see him move. He got right up in Ahi's face and whispered in a deadly tone, "You're sure"?
